Yeah, surprised last night's game wasnt on NESN with the Red Sox not playing. Tonights is in Saskatoon I believe and isn't being televised at all.

They are up 2-0 though, anyone know who scored?

Hard to beleive that in this day and age, with all these channels and the recent success of the Bruins that the pre-season games are not on TV or on the radio. All Patriots,Red Sox and I'm guessing Celtics pre-sason games are aired. Very dissapointed.

Completely agree.

I think it has to do with the remote arena they played in not being set up with video cameras, and the expense of bringing in cameras and broadcasting not being greater than what they would earn from commercials.

That is not entirely accurate...not ALL Red Sox spring training games are aired locally into the Boston area usually it is a weekend game or two that shows up. The Celtics are even less...

However, the Patriots are a different story altogether since they play but once a week and there are only 4 preseason games and they all draw significant audiences.

To be honest, I believe only one B's game has been televised by NESN, but the NHL Network has picked up a few others, including the OT game against the Jets. I have not heard any games on radio...but I might have missed them.

Lastly, someone made the point that the costs associated with broadcasting a preseason game probably outweighs the revenue that it would receive...it is not like advertisers are running topay for a 30 second slot for a game that is not real.
